Can I get some help? - Virtex - 2004-02-12
Hi Everyone-
I just installed RedHat 8.0 on one of my older systems (specs below)and I don't know if I have everything installed correctly yet:
1 Hard Drive Obviously installed correctly
1 CD-WR Haven't tested yet
Mother board DFI Inifinity Ultra Installed Drivers just how Nvidia said to.
CPU Athlon XP 1700+ ?
Sound Onboard Don't have extra speaks to test
Video GeForce 2 Ultra I just picked generic Geforce 2 but I don't
know how to install OpenGL
Monitor Touch? I know this monitor can do 1024x768@85hz
I don't think I have it installed correctly.
Mouse and Keyboard are good except I can't use the scroll on my mouse.
My biggest issues are that I can't get Seti@Home running and that I don't know how to install OpenGL. I would like to start testing out programs and games (MMORPG mostly) on my Linux box, but I believe I need a mentor to help me out and teach me how to be a paddiwan so that one day I may be a mighty Jedi.
Someone? :)

Mouse. in console type: setup
so the dialog will come up in console, go to mouse configure. you can alter your mouse there with wheel support :)
Seti@home <--- don't have any idea. sorry.
Program, to run some windows application will need to install wine. games use winex. office XP, Macromedia Studio Mx need to use CrossOver.
that's all i can help.

Alright guys next problem I installed the NVidia drivers just as you all specified in your how to's and by NVidia's site. Bu I can not get it to work this is the error I'm getting while try to run 'startx':
(EE) NVIDIA(0): no HorizSync values remaining
(EE) NVIDIA(0): No modes remaining for display device CRT-0
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
